All aboard!

All aboard! My parents - Bebe and PawPaw - promised Hudson (the cute short little man) that for his birthday, they would take him on a train trip to see me. Hudson was beyong excited. He has asked all year long when the train trip was coming. Well Hudson turned 6 at the end of June so my parents booked the trip. Amtrak runs through McGregor (right outside Waco) and makes a stop in downtown Fort Worth. My parents have been scouting this out for sometime and I think were just as excited as Hudson. They even bought tickets on the 2nd deck of the train for a better view. Hud also got to bring his brother, Caden. Bebe and PawPaw got to the station extra early so the boys could explore everything! Then the train was delayed for an hour so they got to spend even more time at the station.....good thing Bebe packed lots of fun stuff to do and snacks to munch on. In fact, by the time the train got here, all the snacks were eaten! Don't worry, the train had a snack station and the boys got the biggest snickers they could find. They were on a total sugar high by the time I picked them up.
Caden was worried about missing batting practice since the train was late but the conductor said the train would go extra fast - 70 MPH! Who knew trains went that fast. Every train I get stopped by, it is creeping along. The trip was so fast that they even beat me to the station so no pics of them getting off. I told Bebe and PawPaw that the whole family needs to do this as it looked so fun!

 Bebe made special train tickets for the boys.

Patiently waiting for the train to come.

I was picking them up from the train station to go right to the ballpark which explains all the Rangers shirts.

Hurry up train!

Every time the whistle blew, they had to suck on their lolly pop. This was a very fun entertaining game for the boys until their lolly pops were all gone!

Doesn't this look cool? The train was sold out - turns out this is a really popular thing to do! Bebe and PawPaw definately win grandparents of the year!
